## What it is
Pixeval is a powerful, fast, and beautiful third-party desktop client for Pixiv, built on .NET 8 and WinUI 3 (with an older WPF version in maintenance). It lets users browse, search, and download illustrations, novels, and other Pixiv content.

## Use cases
- browse and search pixiv illustrations on desktop
- download pixiv artwork in bulk
- view pixiv novels and user bookmarks
- use pixiv on windows without the web interface
- manage pixiv follow and bookmark lists locally

## When to choose
- you are on Windows 10+ and want a native, feature-rich Pixiv client
- you want faster browsing and bulk downloading than the Pixiv website offers
- you prefer a desktop app with modern WinUI 3 design

## When to avoid
- you need a client for macOS or Linux
- you want an official Pixiv-supported application
- you need a mobile Pixiv client

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: gui, http-client
- domain: desktop-applications, media, social-media
- platform: windows, dotnet
- tags: pixiv, pixiv-client, winui3, avalonia, illustration-viewer, third-party-client
